[QUOTE=legolover122;38534442]Are the guns that cost like 1000 certs permanant? I know some items are one life only... And I would rage the fuck out if I saved up for like weeks to get a weapon just to lose it because I died.[/QUOTE]
What items are one use only? I haven't heard of this.
Also yes weapons are permanent, they were so during the beta and there's no reason it should've changed.
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;38534353]cert gain is still too slow no matter how you slice it[/QUOTE]
You're that guy who only makes 1500 exp per hour right?
Yeah ... lets not balance the game on how much you suck shall we?
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;38534450]I'd rather buy the game and gain certs quickly, personally. I don't want to have to grind for a month before I can play the game the way I want to play it[/QUOTE]
I can also tell you now that getting a new sight doesn't change how you play the game that much.
Grabbing a new weapon will take anyone, boosts or not, a while to get.

Cosmetics such as camo have 'permanant for all classes' that are 500 station cash and 'one time' for 50

I know some cosmetics are one time use, but the guns never specify that they are perma so I was just making sure...

You're willing to pay then? Get a subscription. You'll get certs and resources and shit faster. If you were paying and still got certs slowly then you could complain.
You also get more 'offline bucket certs'.
[QUOTE=Saza;38534440]except those 10 people being revived are racking up kills, pushing the enemy back, and altogether capturing the zone (albeit a slower, not as visible rate)
you can go on playing like you do but don't complain how you don't earn xp because capturing things doesn't give you much more than a few hundred xp, whereas kills give you 100 each.
capturing a base is like killing 5 or so guys, even less, sometimes more pending on size.[/QUOTE]
As i stated, 50+ kills and 4 bases captured by myself / a few other squadmates following me around and a few vehicles blown up here and there. I find that much more fun than sitting back and reviving people and playing it safe. That's boring as fuck to me, and i think it's incredibly stupid that one playstyle is encouraged far more than the other. BTW I'm not going to buy a sight, i was just using that as an example of how silly it is that i still didn't get enough certs after all that to buy something so insignificant
So I can't play this game.
I created a character, pressed the finish button and nothing happened. Went back to the character screen and it was there, but when I press the play button nothing happens once more.
Oh well.

I do not play it safe at all.
My strategy in attacking Amp Stations (I never play outside Esamir cause I love winter.) is to go light assault, get on a tower, and hop tower to tower, killing things I can before I die and repeat.
50 kills and maybe 2000xp or so in capping bases isn't that good in 3 hours.
I find it funny you say my way of earning my certs is 'the playing it safe way' and yours is just going to empty bases and rarely getting one guy alone and killing him for an easy kill, otherwise little action.

if you're crying about the cert gain now i wonder how much more you'd be crying about the cert gain before they decided to increase it from what they were originally going to set it at.

If I remember right it was 500 XP a cert.
Stop bitching, not even that took that long.

This is really weird. If you got at least 50 confirmed kills you got 5000xp, which is 20 certs. Combined with whatever you got for assists and base captures you should have more than 20 certs. Something tells me you actually got a lot of assists and not that many kills, man.

Sounds like real low intensity playing.
No wonder you're not getting much for it. And so you shouldn't.

Hit tab, said over 50 kills (don't remember how many it was) didn't check assists, died about 15 times.
Every base i went to had probably about 10 guys just wandering around grabbing vehicles, and usually a lot more would spawn in once we started capturing it. If you're seriously telling me that, even IF the bases were completely empty (which let me assure you they weren't), capturing it isn't significant? That's moronic

I don't why you keep throwing 50 kills about like its impressive.
50 kills in 3 hours is pretty bad man.
If anyone's on Waterson one of the guys in the outfit I'm in is rank 2 on the server! BR 16 or so! 500 cert points day one. Inviso's his name!

It says 'low' (AU server) but I'll keep trying then.
This launch is going terrible.

oh nevermind then
that's odd
[QUOTE=Saza;38534615]oh nevermind then

And that's why I'm going Connery West instead.
That and because CHKilroy's there.
[QUOTE=Drakortha;38534614]This launch is going terrible.[/QUOTE]
Depends on who you are, but it is for me. Can't even get the game to start and Launcher will randomly close for no reason at all without any error messages.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;38530189]The game keeps crashing at 98% loading and I get sent to the Planetside 2 website with a "Unable to connect to the login server" error.
Oh well.

Apparently they're both Vanu and on Mattherson.
So far they're doing a piss poor job, the Vanu are getting obliterated on every continent here on Mattherson.[/QUOTE]
TEST isn't TEST.
HAZD is Test+PL. WE're TR on Mattherson.
Im having an absolute blast! I was prepared with 5k station cash so i bought the starter infantry pack, a couple of vehicle weapons, some fancy cosmetics and a 7 day xp booster. Reached rank 8 in about four hours from a mixture of engineer, scythe and shotgun action. Also made a whole ton of certs. This friday ill be subscribing for a membership. If i where to buy say the 6 month one would i instantly be given all the equivalent cash and/or total xp gain bonus? Or do I still only get those each month?
The Beta seemed to work so well. What the hell happened in between then and now? Someone fucked up.

that's about what I get when I'm actually playing and not dicking around, and I run around as a light assault so a majority of my exp comes from kills and caps.
